Tips for everyday living

Perhaps you have gazed in terror at a plug and had to admit the awful truth deep in your soul that you don't have a clue how to change a fuse. Or maybe you have considered trying to cause small explosions to unblock your toilet.

Stop, you useless person! And take backward steps away from whatever it is you are about to make a mess of, because help could be at hand.

A new website, Videojug ("Life Explained. On Film"), has a growing range of videos showing you how to do various everyday tasks and has been described as the DIY manual for the 21st century.

A look today on the front of Videojug, which is still in its beta phase and will be officially launched later this month, shows a variety of helpful videos. They include: how to make chicken stock, how to fit a cat flap, how to change a car hub cap, how to use highlighter and bronzer to bring out highlights, and how to check for testicular cancer; which could of course be life-saving advice (you must log in and be over 18 to view it). My favourite, though, is how to look after ferrets (a quick tip - you are going to need some wood shavings).
